I love that pirate groups still use ascii text art in their release notes. It’s like a little piece of the world that hasn’t changed in 30 years.
I need to find out how to make these. Mostly just cause I like it.
On Linux, you’ll want to install figlet and toilet (both available in the debian repos)
Alternatively you’ve got this online frontend
If you really want to get weird with it you can also play any video in ascii art through libcaca and mplayer. Looks like this
I use
Arch btwEndeavour OS so don’t have Debian repos but I will definitely check them out. I especially like the fancy dark mode.I just checked and figlet at least appears to be in the arch repositories as well
And still include cheesy mp3s playing too loud in retro-futuristic-looking installers
The music in the installers is the best part about installing cracks
To be fair it’s the exact same bypass as any other Steam game. Any steam emulator would work.
Awe as a dev this kind of bums me out a little. I wonder that they used for DRM. Those sales go directly to the devs in way of raises and retention.
Granted this is not EA where i worked, but if you enjoy the game, i encourage you to buy it.
Also NOTE: I DO NOT SUPPORT DRM, just the pay checks of the devs as i was one for quite some time.
Totally agree on the paycheck. However we need to stop acting like piracy is bad only. Buy the things you really enjoy and support the creator(s).
Back in the days a friend suggested i buy Skyrim and i was like: “Uuh not sure if i want to spend that kind of money on a 2yo game”. But since he was quite a fan, i pirated it. Soon after I bought the LE version and today it is still my most played game.
NGL: i also pirated many things of which i never bought the original version. But because of the bay i also bought some things i most likely wouldn’t have without.
I don’t think piracy is bad lol i do think mega corporate publishers have bad practices for sure. Like cool, the one i worked for is publicly traded. Awesome. Every action is greed motivated. I hate that.
Every time i loose hope in games i just play undertale and ignore the world. >.>
I really felt cheated that no one was insulted, no rants were frothed, no theories conspiracied in this nfo. All we got was relevant information and kindness.
I’m kidding obvs
Not even transphobia? But how will I justify my Vtuber hatemail now? /jk
Bland release notes.
I wanted some spicy ✨bipolar ranting✨
Eagerly waiting for the videos of every Starfield’s fade-to-black screen transitioning back into Skyrim’s opening
Starfield and Friends
John…I’m watching you…
I would think that it’s cheap availability on GamePass and likelihood of frequent updates would make for a muted response to this one.
Plus I don’t think it was protected to start with for modding purposes. People will be flying around in Thomas the Tank Engine by the end of next week.
For these reasons, I’d rather buy Bethesda games. As a company, they aren’t assholes. I’d hate for them to get bought out by ea or something like all the rest.
Yes, that would be terrible for them to be bought by somebody like MS.
While you’re absolutely right to point out they have already been bought by Microsoft. I think we can all admit MS has had an unbelievably better track record with acquiring studios than EA.
Pretty low bar you’ve set there…
Did starfield not have denuvo drm. I thought most Bethesda games did.
Bethesda Game Studios games don’t have DRM like Denuvo. BGS and Bethesda Softworks are two different entities. ID, MachineGames and other Zenimax studios tend to have DRM, not BGS.
On the other hand, didn’t Denuvo come out after Fallout 4 launched? So what would they even protect, 76?
No, Denuvo was first used in Sept. 2014 and Fallout 4 came out Nov. 2015.
Why did you start with No?
“Didn’t Denuvo come out after Fallout 4 launched?”
“No, it came out a bit more than a year earlier.”
Ah. Well F4 didn’t have it on launch
“Cracked” meaning having replaced a dll file
They don’t even replace the DLL file for you! After you run the RUNE installer, you have to copy the emulator yourself
You can just click the checkbox for “Copy crack to install directory” to get the installer to do everything for you.
I’m not sure why that isn’t the default.
Exactly; this just needed an emulator like goldberg
Bethesda games usually don’t go for heavy DRM stuff (beyond the basic steam DRM), because it impairs modding (especially injection / nonofficial modding, stuff like SKSE for skyrim)
The game is kinda meh from what I’ve seen? Any positive impressions?
Still downloading for me, but I see more than one review saying it takes a long time to get good. I’m keeping my expectations low.
EDIT: Glad I was warned it starts slow. It does get better if you stick with it.
EDIT 2: It entertained me for a week. It’s no Skyrim, or even Fallout. I would have been pissed if I’d paid for it.
